Next week I will be coming to you from Munich, and that fact causes me to reflect on the dangers which arise when politicians ignore expert advice about what effects policies will have, and consistently lie to the public. Social pressure (such as arises when people are losing their livelihoods or seeing their heat and light bills exceed their rent) tends to drive people toward radical political movements, and that tendency is only reinforced when the political main stream has been insisting there is no problem. Also I talk for a while about the badge press which I have acquired with the gratefully–acknowledged assistance of Generation Atomic, and in general my efforts to disseminate pro–nuclear propaganda. And I explain some important facts about the latest saber–rattling from Russia.
2022–11–04 Testing the audio setup in Munich. I read a letter I have been draughting to the head of Ontario Power Generation, relating to the planned life extension of the Pickering nuclear station near Toronto, and then The Outlook for Nuclear Power in Puerto Rico by Alvin Mayne and Philip Mullenbach, from Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy (the proceedings of the 1955 Geneva Conference), volume 1. Puerto Rico is definitely a place that could use atomic power, relying as it does on fuel oil for its electricity, but the only power reactor that has ever been built there was the experimental (and largely unsuccessful) BONUS superheating BWR.
I had a huge mishap while doing this live show and so I would like to apologize for that. The live show stops at 26:03, there will be a short blackout, then our robo DJ kicks in at 27:22 playing one of my show’s past episodes, and then finally at 36:00 the live show resumes. I had to restart my 2 laptops, my DJ equipment, and my Internet router, just in case, so I could eliminate the culprit… and in the end, I think it was my own fault. I may have accidentally placed something (most likely my mouse) on top of the ‘return’ key on my external keyboard. LOL. This scene from one of HBO’s Silicon Valley episodes will probably help explain everything. Well, it’s too late now, I already tucked my external keyboard and mouse away, and decided I would be using my laptop for DJing bare and minimal. Don’t want that happening again!
It’s funny because just a few minutes before the mishap I mentioned this same show live to my listeners. Again, LOL. My apologies… but, I really think the tracks I played tonight were great. I really enjoyed listening to them and I hope you would too.
In this episode I played mostly 80’s underground synth pop and new wave bands from Germany and Spain. There were also bands from Canada (Montréal) and Austria.
“Have a Lucky Day!”
Sorry due to a station technical screwup, the first half hour of the show will only live in memories of the live listeners.
Starts 30 minutes into the show.
